MobyGames Twitter feed - cover ideas wanted!

Now that our covers are unwatermarked, there's never been a better time to show off some of the amazing video game cover art scanned by MobyGames members. And that's just what is happening at the MobyGames Twitter feed, which is updated daily with new pics. It's actually doing pretty well, if you look at the number of retweets and favorites for each post.

When we started this, we asked MobyGames Approvers for some cover picks, and now we'd like your help! Please comment on this post and pick some of your favorite cover art on the site, and we'll gradually flow it onto Twitter (and Facebook/Google+, as time permits!)

So sad to hear today that Nintendo President Satoru Iwata passed away - and at the relatively young age of 55, too. Many people online are linking to the MobyGames profile of Iwata, which only exists because MobyGames contributors typed in the credits for literally hundreds of seminal Nintendo games. The site admins would like to honor Iwata-san for his vital contribution to the history of games, & thank all of you for doing so much to preserve his history - even before his sad and unexpected passing.

Gigantic congratulations to LepricahnsGold who has made it to 100,000 contribution points on MobyGames!! He is only the 6th ever user to make it to that historic milestone - the others being Sciere, Cor13, [formercontrib!], Kabushi, and Patrick Bregger.

3,500 Amiga Games (94%)

Featured Game

In the early 1990s there was this amazing WWI simulation on Amiga known as Wings. While it is something very nostalgic and memorable, it is also a great game that offers three different gameplay perspectives: 1st-person dogfights, top-down bomb runs, and isometric low-altitude strafing runs. What Remastered Edition did was took the original game and with a help of OpenGL and 3D representation presented it in Full HD graphics with the same feel as the original. The game looks and feels just as the old one did with a graphical presentation for nowadays computers which makes it look new, but feel old. This is a true example of how all remakes or remastered versions should be done to whatever nostalgic games we'd like to experience once more.
